Intro

Verse

Do I hear what I think Im hearing

Do I see the signs I think I see

Or is it just fantasy

 Is it true that the beast is waking

Stirring in his restless sleep tonight

 In the pale moon light

In the grip of this cold December

You and I have reason to remember

Chorus

Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing the songs that you and I dont sing

 They blow their horns and march along they drum their drums and look so strong

Youd think that nothing in the world was wrong

Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing the songs that you and I wont sing

Lets look the other way taking a chance

 Cause if the bugler starts to play we too must dance.

Verse

Whats that sound, whats that dreadful rumble, wont somebody tell me what I hear

In the distance but drawing near

Is it only a storm approaching

All that thunder and the blinding light in the winter night

In the grip of this cold December

You and I have reason to remember
